Independent digital studio
We make our own apps, and we build yours: websites, mobile apps and online tools for independents, small businesses, associations and start-ups. A small studio, real attention, no jargon.
Troglodytes troglodytes
The wren: a tiny bird with an enormous song.
Services
For independents, small businesses, associations and start-ups. You talk directly to the people who design and build it, from the first sketch to launch day, and after.
Showcase sites, landing pages and portfolios. Fast, easy to update, multilingual if you need it, and built to be found on search engines.
iPhone and Android apps, from a first prototype to publication on the App Store and Google Play.
Booking systems, dashboards, back-offices and APIs: the online tools your work runs on, shaped around how you actually work.
We put your project online, keep it fast, secure and up to date, and stay around when you need a change.
Our own apps
Our own products, made with the same care as yours. Each one does one thing, for one kind of moment.
Esports watch parties
Never watch alone again.
Find watch parties for LoL Worlds, Valorant Champions and more in bars and gaming cafés near you, or host your own and bring the community together. Venues join for free.
A personal CRM for friends
The people you love, a little closer.
Been a While tells you when it's been too long since you talked to someone, and remembers the little things. No account, no server: everything stays on your phone.
Not out yet
Approach
The best tools get out of the way. Your website or our apps, we design for what happens off the screen, not for screen time.
We collect what a project needs to work, and nothing to sell. Been a While doesn't even have a server, and this website has no trackers.
A small studio means you talk to the people doing the work, and every detail gets attention.
Light and dark, accessible, and in more than one language: Been a While already speaks eleven, and your site can too.
The name
wren·kin
/ˈrɛn.kɪn/noun
wren — One of the smallest birds in Europe, and one of the loudest singers.
kin — The people close to you: family, friends, the ones you call your own.
Small, with a lot to say, and made for the people who matter. That's the studio we want to be.
